Tulsi Gabbard Instagram – Quote 1/2 “You never really know completely what to expect on a deployment. You hear a lot, you feel like you go through an endless amount of training, but when push comes to shove, the reality is never a carbon copy of what you trained for. For me, serving in a medical unit, the realities of the human cost of war were ever present. We were primarily at LSA (Logistical Support Area) Anaconda in Iraq. Just about everybody went through there at one point or another, and our brigade went to four different battle spaces in the country. I moved around a little bit to help our medical guys who were out supporting the other teams. 
On day two, I was walking around the camp at the north gate. For those who were there, you will remember very clearly, there’s a huge sign. I don’t know who made it, but there’s a huge sign with big block letters at the gate. Before you leave every day, you see this sign that reads, ‘IS TODAY THE DAY?’ That was an ever present reminder that any day could be our last. Personally understanding and accepting that reality of life and death, and wanting to make the most of life, not knowing how much time we have was massive for me. This was further settled in and reinforced when we had our first casualty. And again every single day, as I executed my first duty each morning — to review the latest list generated by the Force Commander for the country. Name by name, I went through the list of everyone who had been hurt or injured in the previous 24 hours, and I would look for any of the people who belonged to our brigade combat team. My job was to make sure they were getting the care they needed. Some would stay in-country, and others needed to be evacuated as quickly as possible. I would follow them until they were back home to their families. It was tough seeing the names of people I knew, and there were a lot of people who I didn’t know, but understanding with every one of those names, there’s a loved one or a family or a child back home who were worried sick about them.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran) @tulsigabbard Project No. 62 Podcast No. 52
Tulsi Gabbard Instagram – Quote 2/2 “I came from a political background, and I understood how too many of our politicians just don’t get it. They don’t understand who pays the price for their decisions. We saw too many of those politicians come visit us there in Iraq, get the photo op, shake hands, pat people on the back, maybe stay for 24 hours, and then move on. And when they got back to Washington… it just made me laugh and it made me sick at the same time. I heard politicians say, ‘I’ve been to a combat zone 37 times and I know what this is like.’ No, you don’t know anything about what it’s like. So don’t even try to pretend… go and talk to the people who live this experience. Look into their eyes, look into the eyes of their families, and understand the gravity of the decisions that you’re making. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to declare war. Congress has abdicated on that responsibility for a very long time, but that is the constitutionally dictated responsibility of Congress. Know the impact of that before you make that decision. Know the impact of the decisions that you make about training and readiness, taking care of families, and taking care of veterans. What happens here at home when it’s time to care for the people who have made that decision to raise their right hand and take an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and who are willing to sacrifice their life to do so? The experiences of my first deployment and the many lessons that I personally learned are what drove me to be in a position to somehow, some way, impact the decisions that are made in Washington — about our military, about foreign policy, about our veterans. I knew my own unique experiences would make better informed decisions than those that were being made at the time.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran) @tulsigabbard
